Augustine - Indigo

That duality—wet and dry, fertile and barren—permeates her work. Her debut EP, Cicada Days (2021), was a bedroom recording project that captured the stifling heat of Southern summers and the existential boredom of adolescence. The lead single, “Pith,” featured nothing but a detuned acoustic guitar, a fingerpicked pattern that felt like a heartbeat slowing down, and Augustine’s multi-tracked harmonies describing the rot inside a perfect piece of fruit.

Throughout their career, Indigo Augustine has received numerous awards and honors for their work.

Indigo has also been named one of the "20 Most Promising Young Poets in America" by the American Poetry Review. indigo augustine
